Global Populations: Critical Environmental Perspectives

Examines the trends, causes and consequences in population growth and movements across the globe. It studies the environmental impacts of rises in population, global refugee and immigration patterns and their socio-environmental consequences, and the influence of new immigrants and ‘diasporas’ on national identity and culture. Case studies explore existing and alternative family planning policies, the enhancement of women’s status through educational, health and employment strategies, and immigration and multicultural policies in developed and developing countries.
